I have found that when posting to a Linux user's group, listserver, etc. that it is best to avoid HTML. Some lists that I have been on will eventually flame you if you persist. The reason is that some users prefer console-based email clients that are plain-text only. A message in HTML comes across as just plain ugly. You never know, one of those 1950's guys may have the answer that you need to that difficult problem that has stumped you but they deleted your message as soon as they saw the first HTML tag.
Remember the primary rule of communicating, write for your audience.
Not to mention the fact that mail is, was never intended to be written in html and html adds a lot of unnecessary baggage to the body. In short, it costs too much even for some who CAN read it. So...
